    I guess you’re one of those people who day that Hamas Israel is exactly the same as, and has been doing the exact same as Hitler?

    FTFY.

    No, I’m not one of those people. Israel prefers Willy Pete to Zyklon-B, for instance - so there is a difference, I guess.

      Calling Israel the same as hitler may be funny on an “I’m 15 and this is edgy” level, but it’s ignorant as fuck to claim that. Yes, the Israeli has committed and continues to commit atrocious acts, but it’s leagues away from what the Nazis did. It’s not even in the same ballpark.

      Same goes for Hamas. It’s a horrible terror organization, it holds zero candles to hitler and his buddies

        hitler may be funny on

        No, Clyde - I don’t find genocide a laughing matter whether it’s nazis or zionists doing it.

        It’s not even in the same ballpark.

        Really? You don’t think there’s any correlation between the nazis’ genocidal concept of “lebensraum” and that which Israel is doing in Palestine?

        it holds zero candles to hitler and his buddies

        Funny you should mention that… it doesn’t hold a candle to Israel when it comes to terrorism, either.

          I don’t think that, when comparing two large systems, it’s okay to take two specific items that I “like” and compare only those two.

          Israel and Nazi Germany are not comparable. Comparing them and then worse, finding them quite equal is just 15 years old levels of dumb and ignorance

            Israel and Nazi Germany are not comparable.

            Tell me you don’t understand how right-wing ideology works without telling me you don’t understand how right-wing ideology works.

            Noting the differences between Israel and Nazi Germany displays just how similar they actually are - unlike Nazi Germany, Israel is utterly dependent on the west (and in particular the US) for literally it’s day-to-day existence and therefore cannot pursue the policies it wants to pursue with zero constraints as Nazi Germany finally did when it launched it’s genocidal colonialism project in 1941.

            The incremental genocide Israel has been perpetrating since 1949 is purely a matter of geopolitical pragmatism - but the ideological drivers of said genocdie is no different to those that drove Nazi Germany.
